Post Malone's tattoos found a new home on Taylor Swift's face in the video for their collaboration, “Fortnight.”
The black-and-white visual debuted on Friday night (April 19), the same day as the song and Taylor's 11th studio album, Department of Tormented Poetsarrived.
Taylor Swift's face covered in Post Malone's tattoos
The video finds Taylor dressed in a gown and handcuffed to a bed hanging from the wall in a psychiatric ward. I'm crazy for love really. She sings about being a functional alcoholic and wanting to kill the wife of a previous lover, over a heavy synth beat. Then a nurse comes in to give the singer a pill, which she swallows. As if by magic, her cuffs are unlocked and she jumps out of bed to go check in the mirror. As Taylor begins to wipe her face with a towel, tattoos appear in her reflection, but not just any ink: they're the same ones Post Malone usually has.
Post is seen in the video typing love letters to Taylor on a typewriter as she does the same to him. “I love you, you're ruining my life,” Post sings to Taylor. He also appears without any of the usual ink on his face at one point. Mr. Really clean. Post even gets up close and personal with Taylor in an amazing chemistry-filled scene.
Actors Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles, who starred in the 1989 film Dead Poets Society, plays the doctors trying to wipe Taylor's brain of the memories of her fortnight with Post. Dead poets meet tortured poets.
“Fortnight” marks Taylor and Post's first collaboration. The two artists, who first met at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, share a mutual admiration for each other's art. Post released some details of the track's recording session with Apple Music last February, calling the moment “amazing.”
